Wildfire Management & Response

High-Performance, Low SWaP

The CM142 is equipped with a high definition daylight sensor that provides 30x continuous optical zoom, and a LWIR sensor that provides 3x continuous optical zoom to facilitate accurate, long range detection and identification at day and night.

Flexible Deployment

With an IP66 rating, the CM142 is dust and water resistant, suitable for deployment in a range of environments and climates.

Wildfire Management and Response

The CM142 is the UAV payload of choice for aerial wildfire surveillance operations, actively supporting aerial wildfire surveillance missions in the USA and Australia. Its superior reconnaissance capabilities, matched with its low size, weight and power, make it the ideal gimbal for integration into lightweight unmanned aerial vehicles used for intelligence gathering for wildfire management and response.

Standard Features

Intelligent Object Tracking

Gather accurate information on a target moving at high speeds, while the platform is in motion with object tracking. This feature keeps the target in the centre of the frame until an alternative command is given, providing a consistent, solid and reliable object track.

Enter geographic coordinates or point to a position on the map to maintain a consistent view of a location while the platform maneuvers. Gather geo-positioning data on a target for effective target acquisition.

Onboard Video Processing

Real-time video enhancements are fully integrated inside every system to help the operator achieve more from each mission.

Real-Time Video Stabilization

For a smoother video experience, real-time video stabilization corrects any jumpy and jittery movements. Real-time roll adjustments can also be automated to provide a steadier and clearer image.

Navigation

Real-time navigation information is clearly displayed on the user interface (as optional overlays). This includes accurate acceleration, orientation, position and velocity data.
